What the data says.

Examiner Syed Zia's public record spans 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 94 disposed applications, 58 were allowed and 36 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 62%. This rate reflects the ratio of allowed to decided applications in the examiner's pooled history across both art units. The record represents applications that have received final disposition—allowance or abandonment—and does not include pending applications. The 62% allowance rate describes the examiner's past decisions and is correlational data only.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates applications across multiple art units, presenting an overall picture of examination outcomes. The allowance rate of 62% reflects historical decisions on disposed applications and does not predict outcomes on any specific pending application. Pooled figures mask variation between individual art units; detailed breakdowns by art unit appear separately. Aggregate statistics describe what occurred, not what will occur in any particular case.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Syed Zia has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 94 applications.
